Trailing the Truth
"Let's advertise the fact that journalism is a partial, hasty, incomplete and flawed business. "
--- The Truth about The Truth, Alan Rusbridger, Newsweek May '05.
There has been a lot of talk about the role of bloggers in the world of journalism.
There has also been a lot of talk about the powers that bloggers can command with their broadcast platform, and the implications in wielding that power.
Let's keep talking.
Let's keep advertising.
There are actually two more lines to that Rusbridger quote:
"Let's advertise the fact that journalism is a partial, hasty, incomplete and flawed business. The readers know it. They might trust us more, not less, if we owned up."
